Simmechanics Weird behaviour when simulating a four bar linkage with an initial condition

Hello,
Could anyone please take a look to the example attached? It is a four bar linkage made in Simmechanics (Simscape Multibody). It is behaving really weird and I do not know exactly the reason.
I have been doing lately some matlab programming and the weirdest thingy is that this very mechanism, running under my code behaves exactly in the same way!!
It is a four bar mechanism sample slightly modified . One of the joints (Crank-Connector revolute joint) has a State Target Priority to define a specific initial position.
When simulated, the mechanism seems to find an attractor in one of the sides, and keeps oscillating around the position, which is actually supposed to be a repeller. There are not external forces applied (except the ones due to the gravitational field).
Can anyone please give me some insight about this issue? I think I am going bananas...
PS: The example is attached as a .zip file. Just need to click on the play button.
Many thanks,
Rodrigo

Depends on if the former way (Autodesk) also has 20cm as the distance between the rocker and the crank. Otherwise, I would set that to 20cm in Autodesk simulation before comparing it to Simscape multibody.

As answered by Swarooph above, setting the initial conditions properly and ensuring the linkages are the right length resolved this issue. See the discussion in the comments.
